We have completed the restoration of over 70 stained glass panels for Seymour United Methodist Church located in Seymour, CT. They had a devastating fire at the end of 2006 and have been working to restore the entire sanctuary for May/June 2008. We had been working on this project since the spring of 2007 and it was quite a journey for the studio. In order to ensure the completion of the project we closed the studio for 5 months to the public. During this time we worked everyday sometimes 14 hours a day!
 
 We spent months on researching glass, cataloging and creating new building patterns from which we used to restore all of the panels. We were pleased to find that Kokomo glass located in Kokomo Indiana was the original manufacture of the glass used within all of the windows over 100 years ago. They have been wonderful in helping us identify and recreate the glass. Along with the staff we had volunteers and student helping with the enormous task of cleaning and labeling each individual piece of glass. It was with the combined efforts of all involved that we were able to accomplish this project.

First Congregational Church, Stratford, CT

 

When the members of the First congregation Church found out that there were hidden windows behind the organ pipes they were surprised. Years ago these windows had been covered from the interior and boarded up on the exterior after the installation of the organ pipes behind the Altar. With help form some of the members we removed these windows piece by piece. The fact that they were covered up for so many years saved these windows from falling out of the structure all together. The lead was essentially crumbling right out from between the painted glass pieces. Each piece was numbered and cataloged according to set sections. The members of the church donated money for the restoration and rededication of each window section. These historic windows now hang from custom oak frames (made by the church members) in the meeting hall re-dedicated and reborn into the lives of the church and its members. We were honored to have been entrusted with this project and enjoyed working with its congregation.
